How To Get Rid Of Man Boobs Permanently: Get More Energy STAT!

How I Overcame My 50-Year Struggle With Gynecomastia

Before we get started, here's a little story from one of my clients, Sammie Fields.

Hey there I’m Sammie.

I’m in my 70s now and I’m finally enjoying my life as a masculine-looking guy. I struggled with gynecomastia ever since puberty. Back in the day it was totally unheard of for a man to have breasts.

Man boobs were quite a rare thing. If you think having man boobs is bad now, try having them in the 60s. I spent my entire life in fear that someone would notice my breasts. I stayed away from women - I was horrified of the bedroom. I also stayed away from the beach and only got out wearing the thickest of clothing to try and conceal myself.

Back then there was no internet, and no information out there to help me. I tried everything I could to try and get rid of my man boobs. I lost weight and tried different diets but all to no avail.

One day however, just a few years ago I came across a newspaper article.

This article complained of how male fish in our waters were becoming feminized. Scientists had studied these male fish and found how they had developed feminine characteristics, even to the point of producing eggs! Apparently this was due to the prevalence of the female hormone estrogen in our water supply.

Apparently, due to most government water filtration systems (including the US), estrogen passes unfiltered right into our taps, and straight into your belly when you drink that glass of water.

The estrogen is being absorbed by us and is resulting in modern man having low sperm counts, fertility problems and gynecomastia. Heck it might even be responsible for the boom in the male cosmetics industry (joke).

So I went out there, did some research and found some other shocking sources of estrogen that exist especially in the modern environment, but were also there in the past albeit in much lower quantities and not as widespread back in the day.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well I lost my man boobs in my mid-sixties. The only way I managed to succeed was after I armed myself with the facts, and all the information I needed to know about the very root cause of my gynecomastia.

If I could get rid of my gynecomastia in my sixties, then I know for a fact that anyone else can do it too. So if you're about to give up or you have given up and are ready to face the world as a pseudo-man, then I'm here to tell you to wake up! Get out of that trance, shake yourself up and inform yourself of real working tactics that have been proven time and time again to help many thousands of guys lose their man boobs permanently using all-natural methods.

And I can't think of a better person to help you than my good friend Robert Hull. I leave you to his very capable hands and I'm sure that you will learn much on his new blog.

Get More Energy STAT!

FRANK LIPMAN WELLNESS

Leading a balanced life isn't just about skipping dessert and scanning your gym card twice a week. It's about listening to your body and replenishing your energy, says Frank Lipman, M.D., founder and director of the Eleven-Eleven Wellness Center in New York City. We stopped by his office for a visit recently and fell in love with his groundbreaking and exciting approach to restorative medicine and healing.

So, who can benefit from sustainable wellness? Anyone and everyone! Lipman's programs can be tailored to your specific needs, especially if you suffer from constant exhaustion, chronic indigestion, illness, and low sex drive or motivation. His daily supplement and shake program "Revive" even includes comprehensive shopping guidelines to help his patients avoid irritants and harmful foods that can drain the body of energy.

Not ready for an overhaul? Steal these tips from his book (aptly named), Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Start Living Again.

Unprocess Your Diet!

Chemically processed foods and foods that include preservatives and flavor enhancers make our cells work very hard and weaken the body. Because these chemicals are not derived from nature, our genes have no program for processing them. The body--particularly the immune system--responds to these foreign substances as if they were aliens, attacking them and flushing them out. Though these chemicals may make your food pretty in color or longer lasting, they sap your energy, exhaust your immune system, and weaken your body.

Do Restorative Exercise!

Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors used their body to hunt, build homes, and harvest food. Our ancestors didn't hop on a treadmill and stay there until they'd finished reading The Wall Street Journal. For them, exercise equaled survival. They sprinted hard and fast to catch their prey, or they sprinted hard and fast to avoid becoming prey; then they stopped. They didn't run for extended periods for no good reason. Their body simply wasn't designed to do so, and neither is ours. What we are designed for is short activity bursts followed by rest (interval training). Exertion, rest, and recovery is the body's essential natural rhythm for movement. (Try some of Lipman's energy-boosting exercises. )

Fight Chair Body!

All of us are victims of the chair. Sitting actually atrophies our walking muscles. Our crucial core muscles--the ones that support our posture, organs, continence, and sexual health--also weaken. Sitting too much changes our natural posture, joint mechanics, and ability to use the muscles of the back, butt, and thighs. This forces smaller muscles and joints to perform tasks that really should be done by these bigger muscles and joints. The greatest opponent of the chair is movement. No matter what you do for a living, think about ways you can bring more movement into your life. If you log hours at a time in a chair, try to take seven-minute bathroom breaks every hour or two. On this break, walk around. Walk up and down some stairs. Swing your arms as you walk down the hall. These little breaks are potent healers. They get us breathing and the blood moving again, which helps keep us energized and in rhythm.

Eat Seasonally!

Anything that helps us get back to nature's beat makes us feel less spent. All of our survival mechanisms, developed over millennia on this planet, were adaptations to go with this flow of nature. Now we need to get back to adjusting to the seasons. We should try eating what is in season. Birds do it. Bears do it. In fact, other than our domesticated animals and livestock, we are the only living beings on this planet that don't eat seasonally.

Speaking of eating, try these two tasty--and speedy!--recipes (or take a look the other meal ideas from Eleven-Eleven Wellness):

Jeweled Brown Rice Pilaf
Serves 23

1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 cup short-grain brown rice, cooked according to package instructions and allowed to cool, or 2 cups leftover rice
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup lightly toasted chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pine nuts--you choose)
Salt to taste

Saut� onion in olive oil. When opaque and starting to brown slightly, add coconut, stirring all the time. Do not let the coconut get too brown. Add cooked cold rice and cranberries and saut� for a few minutes, until heated through. Remove from stove, then sprinkle with toasted nuts and season lightly with salt.

Chocolate Avocado Smoothie
Serves 2

1 cup coconut water (or cup nut milk and cup filtered water)
1/4 avocado
1/4 cup raw cocoa powder
1 serving or 34 tablespoons whey protein powder
1 tablespoon agave syrup
4 ice cubes

Blend in a blender until smooth and creamy. For variety, add cup fresh mint leaves.
